My work is concerned with light and phenomenology. I play with the tension between one material, form or object, and another. Light, often neon, seeks a counterpoint, a non-neon element that has conceptual, physical and visual weight, creating immersive experiences that speak to human existence and ideas.

Consistent themes are about distance both perceived and actual, and questions of strength and permanence. My work is a response to the poetics of living, to heartbreak and beauty, and seeks to reveal moments that bend our understanding of vulnerability.

Light in isolation is nothing; it can only be fully experienced when one has seen the dark.
